Gargleblast Records is an independent record label based in Bellshill,Lanarkshire,Scotland.
EARLY YEARS 2003 - 2005
Founded by record producer Andy Miller and friend Shaun Tallamy in May 2003, the aim of the label was to support, develop and release music by some of the bands Miller had recorded at Chem Nineteen Studios, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, many of which he felt were being overlooked by the music industry. Gargleblast's first release was "Gravitas" a/a "Hammer and Frogs", a limited edition 7" Single by Belfast band Desert Hearts on 20th July 2004, followed by "Camera" a/a "All Saints Day" by local band De Rosa on 9th August.
2006
Gargleblast licensed "Mend", the debut De Rosa album to Chemikal Underground Records in early 2006, and in October released the second Desert Hearts album "Hotsy Totsy Nagasaki".
2007
On 11th June 2007 the label released "Live At The Annandale Hotel" by seminal Glasgow band Life Without Buildings, and released "This Is What Makes Us", the debut album by Foxface on 5th November.
